Lately, my main machine has been a mid-2014 mbp with 16GB of RAM and I recently purchased the new mbp with 8GB of RAM. Comparing them side by side is a very strange experience. _Technically_ it should be slower but it doesn't "fee

With all due respect, terroir is a major aspect of wine. However, you shouldn't believe me. What you should do, if you doubt, is perform a blind taste test: Pouilly-Fuissé vs Pouilly-Fumé. The two regions are literally across the river

I've read many studies that depicted folks not able to distinguish the price point of wine[1] but not being able to tell the "color" of wine is slightly rediculous to anyone who've drank enough wine. The flavor profiles

Since box.com and dropbox are private, that don't disclose that information. However, when they file, they might give some semblance of a breakdown/comparison.

Just my 2 cents, so please read with a grain of salt. From your story, you appear to have a stronger connection to Ray's story then most folk on this site. Since you were in similar circumstances (without means), you have an understand

> blaming a slow system on the organization as a whole and the department responsible for the POS in particular is appropriate. It's not like it's impossible to create a fast system. After readying your comment, I went through

> That was a flaw in the process the banks were using to allow cards in the Apple Pay (without verification), not a flaw in Apple Pay itself. Agree. However, this does illustrate a point that safety concerns are valid. Myself, I'm a

> This is a sign of their incompetence. Period Per parent, this could also be an internet issue. If the POS is processing with a delay, the employee has little control and blaming "incompetence" is ludicrous. Having first hand

Last year there was an article how Apple Pay was making it easier for scammers to use cards. I believe this particular vector was patched by having to authenticate that you are trully adding your card via bank authorization. However, Mobile

With all due respect, government isn't able to enforce it since they just don't have enough folks to the job. It will fall on the business, which will include hiring more folks. It's a never ending carousel of responsibility

That's true with "most" things. In American business culture, there is so much pressure on companies from investors that they have to take every short cut possible to make their numbers. In addition, the pressure from other c

Appreciate your point of view. Another poster mentioned a paper by James J. Feigenbaum† and Christopher Muller‡. Are they some of the scientists you mentioned and labeled as "fringe", in regard to their point of view? Clearly, vio

Isn't Communism very similar to your perfect world? All the people were provided for and they worked for everyone and everyone was equal. However, that didn't work out too well. In any system, some folk will always squatter and so

Yup, reflection points to a misunderstanding on my part. I perceived the comment with negativity, which I don't believe was the intention.

Re-reading the comment, I mistook the "tone". Originally, I understood as "You choose to immigrate and it's easy, we'll all become doctors and lawyers".
